Vintage Gold-Tone Slotted-Bead Lariat Necklace with Green Faux-Jade Cabochon and Tassel

This is a vintage-style costume jewelry lariat necklace, approximately 24 to 30 inches in length, featuring a prominent yellow gold-tone finish. The primary chain consists of unique, textured 'slotted' or corrugated round beads. Central to the design is a large, oval, green mottled glass or resin cabochon meant to simulate jade, which is secured in a decorative raised bezel with an ornate scalloped or openwork filigree border. Adjacent to the central stone is a decorative floral or leaf-motif metal component. The necklace terminates in a multi-strand chain tassel capped with a smooth gold-tone dome. The construction indicates mid-to-late 20th-century costume jewelry, likely 1960s-1970s, reminiscent of brands like Sarah Coventry or Trifari. Geometrically, the piece displays a double-strand segment leading into the central charm, which acts as a sliding or fixed focal point. The condition appears fair to good; there is visible patina and minor brassing or finish loss on the textured beads and near the tassel cap, revealing a darker base metal underneath. The green stone appears intact without major chips, though the metalwork shows typical signs of surface wear and oxidation consistent with age. No designer hallmark is immediately visible in the provided image. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-market but well-detailed vanity piece of its era.
